Dear Gary, Just a quick line to say many thanks for your music on Saturday night. My husband and and I enjoyed it very much and I know our guests did also. It was very good of you to put in as many of my requested numbers as you did and the little 'Bop' at the end, made my evening.

I shall know who to come to when I next need live music and will not hesitate to recommend you to my friends and colleagues. With many thanks once again.

It went really well. Just wish I’d recorded dad’s face as he came in, but hey, can’t remember everything! The kids had a great evening and finally went to bed after midnight.
Thank you again for everything. I still keep singing Buddy Holly songs today, especially Roller Coaster!

Thank you so much for playing and singing Bob Dylan's Wedding Song so well and your version is the one running through my mind and is my new favourite!
It is great to have the link and we have both enjoyed listening to it again.
We had a great day and you contributed to that so thank you.
Very best wishes,
David and Gill

Gary played at our annual garden party.
As guests arrived he treated us to his new Bowie set. Everything was Hunky Dory! Next year we might go for the T. REX to start with before his wide ranging repertoire later on. We look forward to another Perfect Day In the Summertime!!

Our family day went brilliantly thanks, in part, to Gary's super contribution. Advice and good, reliable communications were really helpful and beneficial. Thanks a lot!

Gary played at my pub last weekend. A good number of new customers came and many regulars stayed much later than usual. Plenty of customers were still singing and dancing at 11.00 p.m. We will have to order extra stocks next time!

Gary stepped in at the last minute to play at an impromptu dinner at our officers mess in Windsor. How he remembers all the music spanning five or six decades is beyond me. Perhaps he has taken the Mega Memory course? Then there are the lyrics. Even I knew many of them though because he chose songs everyone liked and could sing and dance to. If you want a rubbish time, book someone else!

Gary played at my 60th birthday celebration yesterday. His live sets were just the job with plenty to listen, sing and dance to. He also provided an excellent disco service as it was a long evening. He catered well for a wide variety of ages and tastes. He was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. I fully recommend him to you for your occasion.

Played almost without a break from 2012 until 2013. Well, O.K., it was just for a few hours at my New Year's Eve party! Wish it had gone on for a
year - we had such a great time. Roll on 2014!!

We hired Gary for our firm's Christmas bash having received a glowing personal reference. He played for hours because we bopped until we dropped. We have already bvooked him for next year!!

Thanks for playing until we dropped Gary. It was the best dinner-dance we have held thanks largely to your lively and entertaining contribution! I have made a note to remind myself to eat less next year so I can dance more.

Luckily, we found the "playlist" we had kept from our wedding reception. If Gary omitted to play anything on it at our anniversary party, we were having to good a time to notice!

More like full house than housewarming!
Friends and relations all said they would pop in during the evening but none went home again! Gary had them all up dancing including my mother who never sat down. She loved dancing to the slow numbers too. Can't wait to move again. Nice one Gary; nice one son!!

Gary played for me this weekend at my fiftieth birthday party. I really enjoyed dancing to Blame it on the Boogie, Brown Sugar and All Right Now to name just a few. My friends said it was the best party they had been to in many a year and that the live music made it really special. Gary even sang a few songs I requested on the night. He really made my day.

Our P.T.A. made a fortune when Gary stood in for us at the last minute due to a late cancellation. Every cloud has a silver or, in Gary's case, golden lining. Is there anything he cannot play for an audience to listen to, sing along with or party to? Make sure you don't want him when we do next!

Gary played at my sixtieth birhday party in March 2012. It was amazing. Somehow he managed to include all my favourite songs we have enjoyed singing along and dancing to over the years. Hope my wife has his number in her diary for my seventieth!

Gary came and played for us at very short notice after we had been badly let down. We were very lucky to find him because he was most professional from the outset and highly reliable. He did everything he said he would including playing all the songs we had requested from his repertoire. Guests of all ages enjoyed dancing, especially when he played on after the agreed end of his sets! Sweet Caroline was a particular favourite and everyone joined in with “My Way”. Actually, Gary did it “Our Way” and we shall be keeping his details handy for future events.

I thought you were absolutely fantastic at the Running Horse, you're very talented, I mean that! My
guitar was banished to the loft but I wouldn't mind having some lessons from
you one day.

What a great evening we had at the Running Horse last week. We had never been to the venue before and enjoyed a nice evening meal before the live entertainment started at 9pm. What a treat we were in for with some great nostalgic songs professionally performed by the talented Gary Rollagher. I will keep my eyes peeled for his next venue.

Well done for last weekend's performance at the Running Horse Leatherhead. My wife and I enjoyed it and were very impressed - thought you did really well. Sorry we couldn't stay for the second part.

Personally I really liked the seventies Bowie, Who, Floyd, Led Zep, whereas she liked the slower stuff - but that is probably more a reflection on our tastes than anything to do with your performance!

Well done - hope you enjoyed it too- and hope the next gig comes soon.

I just wanted to write to say how wonderful Gary was at our party! He played all of our favourites brilliantly and we loved every minute of it! When he was in full swing everyone was up dancing and singing and we had an absolute ball. A great guy and happy to do all that we asked. Thank you so much. He is so versatile so we will definitely be in touch next time we need a musician whatever event we are planning.
